The Trump Raid – We’re Missing the Point

“The documents were declassified!”
“Trump had every right keep them!”
“They posed no risk to national security!”
Conservatives have been defending Trump with these kinds of arguments ever since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago last month. They’re missing the point, though. Seeking to prove that Trump did nothing wrong in possessing these documents is like trying to establish that the victims of Stalin’s show trials weren’t in fact Trotskyites. Well, of course they weren’t.
But Stalin didn’t care if his enemies – perceived or real – were Trotskyites or “counter-revolutionaries.” What mattered to him was that they were his enemies.

I hope I live to see the day when posts are erected outside the capitol building and they stock up on blindfolds and last cigarettes for the communists who have so damaged our nation.

our President has been the lightning rod for the communist dem party and for that, but not only for that, he deserves our faithful allegiance and support and anyone who has reservations about how much dedication is deserved for him, by us, should pick up you gear an move out, we don't need you and, most of all, we don't want you.

FTA: “ But at the end of the day, the question of Trump’s innocence is irrelevant. Because what we’re witnessing is not a legal investigation but a political crusade – aided by the Justice Department – to crush a man it can’t stand. And if we allow the left to win this battle, we will have allowed it to cross a line from which there may be no turning back.”
This is an excellent article and hopefully will be made a Must Read. Every word rings true and I hope that every elected Republican will read this and take it to heart. There will be no, ‘we’ll get ‘em next time’ if we do not prevail in November. Everything is riding on this election but our leaders M & M appear to be clueless whether by malevolent design or incompetence matters not. Their weak and feckless leadership and propensity for backstabbing have given democrats a great advantage which could have been avoided. It becomes clearer everyday that it is going to be up to we the people to stand in the breach against this lawless behemoth that is determined to retain its evil grip on the nation’s politics by whatever means possible. We have one opportunity in November and we must charge the gates of democrat hell with squirt guns if necessary. Our resolve must be that great. We cannot be the generation that retreated in the face of evil.

After your having read Resnick's piece, any doubts or questions as to what is to be done?
Let's roll.

Yep. 45 is the sacrificial object. The Deep State and its minions are out to get the leader of the new America, where America's legal citizens come first and foremost. Where America's borders are under control. Where immigration is legal and perhaps increased. Where Americans are not suffering the consequences of being lawless, where perps and prisoners are let free to conduct a 24x7 purge. Can America recover from 4 years of Lame Duck Joe and spineless Republicans? We may be like Rome, where the barbarians are already inside the gates.

Just like Liz Cheney does not want to be president, only run so she can have a chance on the stage to confront Trump with her insanity.

President Trump has said it himself; they hate us and are after us...he is just in the way. I pray for his safety and thank God for him every day. This is our election. We no longer need the useless RNC for nation-wide ad buys. We have the technology, unknown in decades past, on our desks and in the palm of our hands to reach our fellow citizens. Send out those memes and Tik Toks, post on Facebook and Twitter. Use their platforms and be subversives, be creative. Make flyers and put them on windshields in parking lots. But banners on freeway overpasses. The left are predictable and slow-witted. They are easy to outmaneuver, especially in today's climate of rising prices and uncertain futures. This is guerrilla warfare and spiritual warfare. Give them the double whammy.
Fight for America. Fight for Trump. Fight for MAGA candidates.

he - we - are a threat o the Establishment - on the Right and the Left. they want to maintain control and their cash flow sources. he - we - want to reform them. he must be stopped at all cost in their eyes. the problem for the Establishment on the Right is that our strain of politics is so strong that it affects their ability to stay in power so they need to play both sides to the middle.

Republicans better understand that it is not about Trump. It is about us. It is about socialism, which they advocate, and we reject. It is about no Republican will ever be able to govern, if they can get elected, because too much has been set in place to sabotage, indict, and nullify everything they attempt. Too many Republicans think that will change when Trump is gone. It will not. Any Republican achieving the Presidency will have a Special Counsel, be indicted, impeached, be audited by the IRS, and have the NSA listening to all their communications, and giving it to the WaPo and NYTs.

The left would nail trump to a cross except for the fact it has a religious element to it, which they hate just as much as they do the Donald his own self.

Read the entire article. And then read it again. And again.
“And there’s nothing the left hates more than the values of 1950s America.”
Back during the 2012 campaign, Smidgen hurled what he thought was an insult at Romney that, if elected, he would “take us back to the 1950’s”. My immediate response was, “What’s wrong with that?” I was born in 1952 and I well remember the 50’s. We had safe neighborhoods, the economy was in good shape, there weren’t hordes streaming across our borders, the vast majority of the country attended church on Sunday, we were a proud and strong nation, our president was a former war hero and killing a child for our own convenience was unthinkable.

The best time in history to be an American was in the 1950''s. "I like Ike!"

Amen, #14.
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last 10 years, like they should...
Well, cars do last longer, require less routine maintenance, and don't rust out in the South.
Until they cram EVs down our throats.

The point I have not seen mentioned is when did the FBI get the Security Clearances or have the need to know to even view any so called classified documents?

The raid on Mar A Lago wasn't about national security...it was an attempt to intimidate President Trump and his followers...now that a special master has been designated to oversee the reading of the documents...the DOJ and FBI and CIA and the other alphabet agencies will have to prove how dangerous President Trump is to his country...and that ain't gonna happen...President Trump loves his country and has proven it many times...there's a reason he and Queen Elizabeth got along so well...they both loved their countries...

The clear and unmistakable lesson in ALL CAPS is...... INTIMIDATION.
Anyone who acts contrary to the Leftist Deep State WILL BE PUT THROUGH THE WRINGER.
Period.

Talk about missing the point. Real conservatives always point the finger at the "commie Dems" and toss in a few RINOs now and then. Here's a clue: They're all UNIPARTY. No? Congress operates as a mob, and one either goes along or goes away, regardless of party. Why is Mitch the GOPe Senate Leader? Why is McCarthy apparently trying to duck a big win in '22? Where are these stalwart "leaders" in J6 insurrection, Trump home invasion, or multiple indictments of Trump associate matters? Their silence is telling.
The real point of those acts is clear. It is to chill public opposition to the UNIPARTY Biden Administration and destroy any chance of a Trump presidential comeback. And these are only the opening acts. The Federal government has been increasingly weaponized with the full cooperation of Americans, sucked in yearning for security, safety, and a need to "back the badge."
FTA: "When we finally decide to fight back, it may be too late. So let’s hold the line – now."
Hold the line until we "finally decide to fight back"? More deck chairs for the Titanic passengers! Keep your powder dry.

We like Trump.
We are Trump.
Trump is anti-Globalism.
Trump is US.
Trump is Truth.
The Communist Deep State FBI just could not resist Melania’s underwear drawer. I am reminded of an episode of The Sopranos. They went too far and we are revulsed by our Government Men. I will pay Trump forward by donating directly to MAGA candidates and America First Legal. Enjoy Trump’s rally today in RSBN, CTH, or RAV.
